Accident Attorneys for Defective Brakes Accidents
Defective Brakes
Of all the important safety systems and features on a motor vehicle, none are more important than the brakes. Anything but optimal brake functioning can create a hazard and result in serious injury to drivers, occupants and others.
Luckily, car manufacturers seem to be cognizant of the importance of this; and defective brake accidents have been rare in recent years. But brake systems do fail from time to time, including disc brakes, drum brakes and anti-locking braking systems. Recently a class action lawsuit was filed against Daimler Chrysler Corporation alleging that Jeep Grand Cherokees (1999-2004) are experiencing brake and steering wheel problems. A class action lawsuit from a few years back was settled for $19.5 million dollars on behalf of Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac Grand Prix and Chevrolet Lumina owners (model years 1988-1993) due to defective rear disc brakes.
Defective brakes can include malfunction of the brake/shift interlock that prevents shifting from the Park gear without the foot on the brake, as well as the failure of other parts and systems such as the hydraulics, drums, rotors, pads, brake lights, etc.
